background footer image
-
I dont know what i should do in the wp-config file, what do you mean “update wp-config file with calling header from /blog”
Sorry, I meant
index.php
.Copy
index.php
from /blog to root and changerequire('./wp-blog-header.php');
torequire('./blog/wp-blog-header.php');
. I think you’ve already done this. Because your site won’t show up on root without doing this step.Did you copy the
.htaccess
file to root also?i still can’t figure out the footer image,
That’s because you are calling footer image from “http://www.elliottwaveireland.com/images/footer.jpg” but it is not there. It simply returns a 404 message. Update your custom CSS with correct path to your footer image.
Hi,
Kenneth I edited the child CSS in the WordPress editor,
I just have the elements I styled in there now…
would this be the same as uploading a edited style sheet to the server?
Prasanna,
Yes I had already edited the index file, but couldn’t see the .haccess file anywhere,
where would this be located? I read in the codex that it could be hidden??
Yes, that’s a hidden file. If you’re using cpanel, it asks for showing hidden files in file manager. Select “Show hidden files” while opening file manger. Then you can access .htaccess file. If you’re not using pretty permalinks in wordpress, then there will be no .htaccess file in your wordpress directory.
I edited the child CSS in the WordPress editor, I just have the elements I styled in there now… would this be the same as uploading a edited style sheet to the server?
Yes. You are editing the same file. But, within wordpress admin.
Im still having trouble with my footer image, it will not show up anything.. The funny thing is when my site was only loading the embedded files i could see the footer image, now that my parent and child themes are working again, its gone..something must be over-witing it, but i can’t seem to see what..
I also went about trying out action hooks, enabling the action hook i wanted and then adding html into the widget area, but still to no avail!
any one have any solutions for me? greatly appreciated, 🙂
I uploaded the image to the media library in wordpress, i also have a copy of the image in the images folder on the server.
using the editor in wordpress I added the css code in the child theme in the #footer section, and then added it in the graphene custom css section to see if this would work..
ModYou have your #footer defined in three different places.
You have, apparently, altered the theme’s stylesheet to give this background: http://www.elliottwaveireland.com/images/footer.gif which returns a 404.
You also have this code in your custom CSS and in your child theme style sheet:
#footer {
background-image:url("http://www.elliottwaveireland.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/footer.jpg") repeat-x scroll left -1352px #396395;
}which is all sorts of trouble, because you are treating your footer background image like a sprite image. That code should look like this:
#footer {
background-image:url("http://www.elliottwaveireland.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/footer.jpg");
}You should take this:
@charset "UTF-8";
out of the beginning of your child theme stylesheet.Do not edit theme files. You still have a lot of unnecessary stuff in your child theme style sheet.
ModAlso, the BMP images you are using are huge and take forever to load. BMP’s aren’t meant for the web. Better to use PNG instead.
your footer image is way bigger than the footer area. try resizing it so that the entire image can be seen.
if you still have trouble making the footer-image visible, try this:
– Upload the footer.jpg inside “images” folder inside your “child-theme” folder.
– Add this code in the child theme’s style.css
background: url("images/footer.jpg") #396395;
